I think comp.std.c++ is where you should post this.
I'd also like to have a facility for forward declaring names in std; it should definitely be more fine-grained than <stdfwd>, though. Why not have <xxxfwd> headers for standard headers <xxx> not currently covered by <iosfwd>?
You might be interested in this email thread where this topic was previously discussed.

Turns out you are right to go to comp.std.c++ because the current standard basically precludes this.
Yeah, that's why I suggested comp.std.c++.
Of course, I'll be happy to post my attempt at this if you want to use it.
If only it could be justified somehow as a 'broken compiler workaround' ;-) Jonathan
